“…Ethical issues can be seen in multiple pairings, such as friendships (Connolly, 2012), researchers-study participants (Jackson, 2021), caregivers-patients (Marquis, 2002), employersemployees (Kim & Kim, 2020), and therapists-clients (Gergen, 2015). Some colleagues have addressed instructor-student interactions and noted some ambiguities about the interactional dynamics (Allen, 1995;Campbell, 2017).…”

The purpose of this article is to provide a summary of microaggressive (MA) and microinclusive (MI) issues in college teaching. In MA communications, individuals/ groups are treated as invisible or comparatively less desirable. MA can have a detrimental impact on its targets (to whom comments or behaviors are directed) as well as bystanders who witness the aggression. As part of ethics in family scholarship, it is worthwhile for faculty to consider MA and learn about more prosocial/supportive options, such as MI. This article provides a brief overview of MA, MI teaching, ethical approaches to MA/MI guidance, and MI teaching examples in one family science course. These issues are also relevant to coursework in other HDFS department programs or tracks (e.g., developmental, policy and practice, therapy, community education). K E Y W O R D S cultural diversity, family life education, pedagogical and curriculum issuesThe article provides a summary of microaggressive (MA) and microinclusive (MI) issues in college teaching. In MA communications, individuals/groups are treated as invisible, unequal, or undesirable (Fleras, 2016;Offermann et al., 2014). Compared with moderate-macroaggressions, MA is less dangerous, intense, or severe. However, MA can still have a detrimental impact on its targets (to whom comments or behaviors are directed) as well as bystanders (Burleigh & Wilson, 2021;Fleras, 2016). Individuals, including instructors, can engage in MA (Abdelaziz et al., 2021) with little awareness or ill intent. As part of ethics in family scholarship, faculty should consider MA and learn about counteractive options such as MI. This article provides a brief overview of (a) MA, (b) MI teaching, (c) ethical approaches to MA/MI guidance, and (d) MI teaching examples in one family science course. WHAT IS MICROAGGRESSION?MA has been addressed since the late 1970s. In a thematic analysis of TV commercials, Pierce et al. (1978) described MA as derogatory or disparaging messages.

“…Although there are some studies about Confucian friendships in existing literature (e.g. Connolly, 2012), very few studies place Chinese children's friendships in such sociocultural contexts. However, Chinese children's friendships, especially in the school context, is a Friendship as one important type of interpersonal relationship has been studied from multiple disciplines, such as sociology, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, etc.…”

“…China's unique culture also has a significant impact on friendships in the Chinese context (Connolly, 2012;Hadley, 2003;Yu, 2008). In China, friendship is discussed under the broad theme of 'guanxi' to indicate 'carefully constructed and maintained relations between persons which carry mutual obligations and benefits' (Qi, 2013, p. 309).…”

Confucian friendship (You 友) as spousal relationship: a feminist imagination

This paper intends to propose a hybrid conceptual paradigm incorporating both Confucian you 友 and Greek philia to replace the spousal relationship. So in response to the question of "What is a spouse for?" the answer is friendship. And in rethinking spousal relationship as a hybridized Confucian you 友 with a blend of Greek philia, the functionary and oppressive aspects of marriage are thus made incompatible with this friendship based marital union. At the same time, by incorporating marital relationship into friendship, the concept of friendship is made ever more perfect. Just as in a good marriage both spouses are lifted up by their marital union, the union between marriage and friendship uplifts both conceptually as well. Spouses, in short, should be best friends who lead one another to moral goodness through mutual cutting and polishing one's critical moral sense with penetrating understanding and enduring faith, and the spousal relationship, in turn, is also the best friendship that is perpetual and complete in its form and content by building a truly shared life with all aspects of human capacities, eros and all. In short, a feminist marriage should be a marriage of moral friendship and passionate love. It is a new conceptual paradigm of marriage that is made in a Confucian image for feminists; it is also a practical feminist paradigm that we mortals can strive for and realize in our human all-too-human life.
